| Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed, | |
| to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. | |
| For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. | |
| But when the kindness of God our Savior and {His} love for mankind appeared, | |
| He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, | |
| whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, | |
| so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to {the} hope of eternal life. | |
| This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men. | |
| But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. | |
| Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, | |
| knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned. | |
| When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. | |
| Diligently help Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way so that nothing is lacking for them. | |
| Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful. | |
| All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in {the} faith. Grace be with you all. |
